Ingredients:
- 6 cups sugar
- 4 cups water
- 1/4 cup instant coffee granules
- 2 cups water
- 750 ml vodka
- 1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
-
Combine the sugar and 4 cups water in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
-
Boil the mixture for approximately 10 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
-
Set the sugar syrup aside to cool while you prepare the coffee mixture.
-
In another saucepan, combine the instant coffee granules and 2 cups water. Bring to a boil and let it simmer for about 8 minutes to fully infuse the water with coffee flavor.
-
Once the coffee is ready, add it to the sugar syrup. Stir gently to combine, ensuring that the flavors meld together harmoniously.
-
Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature. This step is crucial for preserving the integrity of the alcohol.
-
Once the mixture has cooled, add the vodka and vanilla extract. Stir well to incorporate all the ingredients evenly.
-
Transfer the Kahlua mixture into a clean, airtight container or bottles suitable for refrigeration.
-
Refrigerate the Kahlua for at least 24 hours before serving. This resting period allows the flavors to develop and intensify, resulting in a smoother and more complex taste.
-
Serve your homemade Kahlua chilled over ice, or incorporate it into your favorite cocktails for a touch of indulgence.
Enjoy responsibly and savor every sip of this exquisite homemade Kahlua! 🥂
